General Description
The XP1043-QH is a packaged linear power amplifier
that operates over the 12.0-16.0 GHz frequency band.
The device provides 20 dB gain and 41 dBm Output
Third Order Intercept Point (OIP3) across the band and
is offered in an industry standard, fully molded 4x4mm
QFN package. The packaged amplifier is comprised of
a three stage power amplifier with an integrated,
temperature compensated on-chip power detector.
The device includes on-chip ESD protection structures
and DC by-pass capacitors to ease the implementation
and volume assembly of the packaged part. The
device is manufactured in 0.5um GaAs PHEMT device
technology with BCB wafer coating to enhance
ruggedness and repeatability of performance.
XP1043-QH is well suited for Point-to-Point Radio,
LMDS, SATCOM and VSAT applications.
